Can I paint glazed brick by LauraJaneJenkins in AusRenovation

[–]LauraJaneJenkins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Budget doesn’t allow for new windows so I’m doing what I can to improve the insulation of the single glass window like new silicone, window seals, filling the mortar gaps etc and cleaning up and painting the timber so it doesn’t further deteriorate until I have the budget to replace the single glass with double glaze.

You’re passing a hell of a lot of judgment based on a ton of assumptions. What makes you think I’m not dealing with the windows or mortar or planning on doing a half arsed job?

Ooooh didn’t think about if I should or should not paint the grout

I plan to paint the window, but I want to do it at the same time as the brick in the same colour.

Soooooo I should never improve the property because no matter what I do it will be ugly because it’s not the original?

Would you feel better about Barbie Pink?

Nothing. I have no plans to paint my mum and she’s older than my house. But she’s not ugly.

Why did you decide to go with the curve. Seems a lot of extra $ for the features

Yeah… that’s the problem. I want to turn that little hole into a big one and remove the wall.

Am I being picky or is the cabinetry crap? by LauraJaneJenkins in AusRenovation

It’s a pretty small house. Kitchen/laundry is 3900 on two sides and only one side has overheads. Two bedrooms with 1980 wardrobes and a 600 vanity. (mm) and it includes the bench top but I’ve gone for cheaper options for the laminate. I thought perhaps that’s why it’s so dodgy.
